Hi Joy,

Based on what I can see in the photograph, I think you're seeing the result of mechanical damage to the leaves when they were in bud--a late frost, perhaps.  High winds or hail when the leaves were just emerging can cause similar symptoms.

Based on the leaf color, your tree might also benefit from a light application of fertilizer--the yellowish cast suggests a possible iron deficiency, or nitrogen deficiency, or both.  Don't over-do it though, for a new tree, too much fertilizer can set the tree back in establishment.

If you notice any development of brown spots on the leaves, or if you see symptoms continuing to develop on new leaves, please let us know and we can look into other possibilities, but I think abiotic factors are the most likely.

I hope this is helpful.

Cordially,

John
